Thornton Memorial Award/Lecture</h2> <h3>Purpose</h3> To recognize outstanding research or technological innovation in the areas of interest to AVS, with emphasis on the fields of thin films, plasma processing, and related topics. <h3><br> Eligibility</h3> The nominee shall have made a pioneering contribution to the science or technology of thin films, plasma processing, or related fields that advances the state of knowledge or the art to a significant and well-recognized extent. Guiding examples are found in the work of John Thornton: his contributions to the theory and practice of magnetron sputtering, his inspired determination of the zone model for sputtered materials. Recognition of recent achievement is encouraged. <strong>In any given year an individual may provide a nominating or supporting letter for only <em>one </em>candidate for each award</strong>. The award shall be granted without restrictions except that current members of the Board of Directors and the Awards Committee are not eligible. Further, no member of the Awards Committee may nominate or support any nomination.  The AVS Awards Committee reserves the right to consider a candidate for a different award category. <h3><br> Nature of the Award</h3> This award recognizes outstanding research or technological innovation in the areas of interest to AVS with emphasis on the fields of thin films, plasma processing, and related topics. The award is conferred biennially as a suitable candidate may be identified. The award consists of a cash award, a commemorative plaque stating the nature of the award, and an honorary lectureship at a regular session of the International Symposium. <h3><br> Establishment and Support</h3> This award is a memorial to Dr. John A. Thornton, who served AVS with a rare distinction that is appreciatively recalled. His devotion to science, his singular contributions to the generation and study of thin films, his effectiveness as an educator, and his unfailing humility won him the uncommon esteem and affection of his colleagues. The memorial was established with an endowing grant from Joy Thornton; significant additions to the endowment were given by the AVS Northern California Chapter and the Thin Film Division. Individual donations were generously contributed by Naftali Lustig, Lucia Markert and Paul Holloway also generously contributed individual donations. <hr> <h3>Quick Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://avs-org.translate.goog/AVS/media/Files/Tips-for-AVS-Award-Nominations.pdf?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=it&_x_tr_hl=en" target="_blank">Tips on How to Craft an Effective Nomination and Strong Support Letter</a></li> <li><a href="https://avs-org.translate.goog/AVS/media/Files/Awards/AVS-John-Thornton-Nomination-information22.pdf?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=it&_x_tr_hl=en" target="_blank">Preview of John A.
